MLD FOR BABBITTING BEARINGS.

Application filed September 23,

Specification of Letters Patent.

To all whom, it m/y concern:

Beit known that I, CHARLES REMELrUs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented an Improvement in Molds for Babbitting Bearings, of which the following is a specification. A

My invention relates to a mold for babbitting bearings; and the object thereof is the provision of an apparatus in which journalbearings particularly may be babbitted or rebabbitted, as the same from wear or other causes becomes necessary.

In carrying out my invention I employ a base provided with suitable raised bearings and stop-rests thereon, a body member of general semicylindrical structure provided with trunnions adapted to be received in the bearings of said base, a cover-plate, a core and end plate secured thereto, means for removably securing the cover-plate and core to the body member, means for adjusting the longitudinal position of the journalbearing to be Lbabbitted, means for adjusting the seated position of the journal-bearing to be babbitted, and means for directing the path of the molten metal while being cured into the mold, all of which features will be hereinafter more particularly described.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved apparatus. Fig. 2 is a plan of the same. Fig. 3 is an end elevation and partial section. elevation on line oc of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a plan of the body member of the mold with the journal-bearing and pouring device in position. Fig. 6 is a side elevation of the apparatus, on a reduced scale, showing the same in a vertical position g and Fig. 7 is a central longitudinal section and elevation on the same scale as Fig. 6, also showing the parts in a vertical position.

In the drawings, a designates a base generally rectangular in outline and provided on the opposite sides at one end with extensions af, on which are provided stop-rests 2 and adjacent to the inner edge of which are suitable raised bearings a2 and at the opposite end of the base a and preferably centrally disposed is a stop-rest 3. b designates the body member of a mold which is preferably of semicylindrical structure pro- Fig. 4 is a sectionalv vided at each edge with an outwardly-extending flange 4 and at one end with an enlarged portion providing the straight walls 5, adapted to fit between the said raised bearings a2 of the base, and in oppositelydisposed positions in the said walls 5 suitable trunnions 6 are employed adapted to be received in suitable grooves provided therefor in the bearings a2. In this wall 5 at one end of the body member is a semicircular recess 19, and the journal to be babbitted is received in the body member with the flange' of the journal in said semicircular recess vresting against the shoulder 20, against which the flange of the bearing to be babbitted is brought to bear in the process of babbitting or rebabbitting the same, as clearly indicated in Figs. 5 and 7.

At the opposite end of the body member b a lug 7 is provided in such a position as to contact with the stop-rest 3 of the base when the body member of the mold is in a horizontal position, as indicated in- Figs. 1 to 4, inclusive. The faces of the iianges 4 of the body member b are provided in a central position with stud-pins b', in each of which i there is a groove 8.

c designates a cover-plate generally conforming in outline with the body member b of the mold, with the exception thatsaid cover-plate is appreciably longer than thel body member of the mold, and it is provided at one end with an extended portion, (indicated at 9,) and this cover-plate is provide in the requisite positions with suitable apertures to receive the said. stud-pins b fixed in the body member of the mold.

d is a hollow core semicylindrical in crosssection and of a length extending longitudinally through the body member. The core has formed integral therewith a semicircular flange d/ fitting the semicircular recess 19 beyond the flange of the journal placed in the body member. This core is formed with a substantially central bridge-piece, and the IOO l edges of the plate e form the the parts firmly together. The projecting grooves in the edges of the babbitting of the journal. I also employ a cross-bar f, pivotally connected to the central portion of the cover-plate c by means of a pivot-bolt 14, and the opposite ends of the cross-bar f are preferably rounded and beveled in opposite directions, as indicated at 16, thereby forming wedge ends which are adapted to enter the grooves 8 in the stud-pins b.

g is a handle secured to a suitable shank g', whose bifurcated ends are secured to the cross-barf on opposite sides of the pivot-bolt 14 by means of rivets 17 or otherwise. The pivot-bolt 14 connects the cross-barf to the cover-plate c, and it will be manifest from this structure that by turning the cross-bar f, through the intervention of the handle g.

and shank g, the cover-plate c may be locked upon the body portion ZJ of the mold by means of the wedge ends of the cross-bar entering v brought to position within plate m, provided Vwit thev grooves in the said stud-pins which project through the cover-plate when the parts are in place.

- t designates a screw through the end plate d in such a position as to enable its inner extremity to contact with the flange n of the bearing n when the same is in position within the body member, and on opposite sides and also at opposite ends of the cover-plate c I employ screws Z Z, respectively, passing through the said coverplate in such positions that their inner extremities will respectively engage opposite sides of the bearing n when the same 1s within the mold.

It will be manifest that by means of the screwi the longitudinal position of the bearing within the mold' may be fixed and also that by means of the screws Z Z the seated osition of the bearing within the mold may be fixed. I also employ a curved pouringsuitable tapering slots 21 and adapted to fit snugly in the mold around the cored and between the same and inner surface of the body member, and this pouring-plate is` movable to accommodate the length of the ournal to be babbitted.

As will be readily apparent, I have designed the hereinbefore-described apparatus to assume a horizontal position, as indicated in Figs. 1 to 4, inclusive, in order that the various parts may be more readily separated and assembled and in order that the bearing to be babbitted or rebabbitted may be readily the mold, and when so placed the mold is to be swung from a horizontal to a vertical position, as illustrated in Figs. 6 and 7, in which the end plate d rests against the stops 2 and the parts are in the most advantageous position for the l pouring ofthe molten metal into the mold to form a babbitt lining, (indicated at t, Figs. 4 and 7.) l Y passing centrally I claim as my invention- 1.
